Thought Walker was back from London

True, how could I have forgotten Tommy already?

Quote: Nozzy "Who has left/leaving from last years squad? Wilkes - gone Sarsfield - is he getting better from his illness, will he be able to come back? Goulden - gone Barlow - going? staying? Penky - gone Platt - gone Reynolds - Season long loan Beaumont - gone Aspinwall - gone Walker - gone Maden - joined coaching team Pitman - loan Tracey - loan Hankinson - loan Any others?'" Anthony Bate and Craig Briscoe were on contract in 2015, until their release part way through last season. www.leighcenturions.com/news/836

Quote: DemonUK "Thought Walker was back from London'" Forgotten him Derek. This is the latest reference I can find to him, from a recent posting on the Broncos' website:- www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/bro ... -farewell/ So, it looks like he is currently at Leigh, too!

With the players on board at Leigh this year Im sure there will be an explosion one way or another. Leigh fans are either going to have a truly spectacular year or one that they are going to want to forget. Theres some massive talent but theres also some massive egos and problems to go with it. Never a dull moment supporting teams like Fax and Leigh(excluding 3 years under Harrison which were pretty dull).

I wonder what sort of money that has freed up? Out of them you would think only Penky & Barlow and maybe Wilkes would have been in the 10K+ bracket. Maybe 30-40K between the rest? 50K max. Realistically Harrison will not have signed for less than 20K and maybe the same for Patterson although that might be been generous so what is freed up could be swallowed up by those two players alone.

If Rangi has some sort of payoff then he may come a bit cheaper than usual but terminated contracted suggests no payoff so what do you reckon for Rangi about 30k+? Personally I wouldnt shed loads of numbers from your squad and would look to get rid of one high paid player be that Moi Moi, Hock, Brierley, or Ridyard.

Brierley is obviously the player you get cash for as well as freeing up space and Chase just takes his spot. Ridyard has lots of interest just waiting for the go ahead from Leigh that he can leave, no money for him but probably on decent money although probably not enough to be a straight swap. Im not sure Brierley and Chase work though as neither could organize a up in a brewery. Hock you would think would need a big payoff and Im not sure where he could go, same for Moi Moi, big payoff and not many teams could justify the money for what he provides.

Thats as an outsider looking in and maybe Leigh have plenty of space on the cap somehow and are just biding their time to make an announcement that 'everybody' knows.

Do you have any idea what a pro full time RL player earns?
Where you high when you came up with those figures above?

Let's pretend your right we should have no trouble fitting everyone in a £1m salary cap then

I have a very good idea what part-time championship players earn. I would be lying if I said I wernt speculating what SL players earn.

Edit: Ive added in part time above. My bad I actually forgot that Leigh were full time so their contracts are going to be more than your normal championship players.

I would imagine salaries are based on the actual given value of a player.So if a player like Rangi is worth 90k,then he'd be looking for a salary of 45/50k per annum,half of what his value is.

Looks like Salfordlad knows nothing and King Degsy has jumped the gun again,what did he say after the Widnes game?Looks like egg on his face ,even the Aussies can t beat the salary cap,what makes King Degsy think he can?Where is Tipster Ste?

The RFL is meant to have the ability to set someones contract value (like a tribunal sort of thing) with regards to the cap if they feel it is markedly low compared to their actual worth. Although I've not heard of it being used before.

According to LE chase wont be coming to leigh. For the salary cap, and interest from others. Why announce on the radio he would sign? Why allow a promising young british hb go on loan to dewsbury?

I think we actually announced to the media, that he HAD signed. Here's just one newspaper that announced it. www.express.co.uk/sport/rugbylea ... om-Salford
